Misbrigið took place for the twelfth time on Tuesday, November 3, where second-year fashion design students from Iceland University of the Arts showcased their work at Flóa in Harpa. In the project, used garments and textiles are given new life in the hands of the students, who explore the possibilities of creative reuse while also tackling the impact of the fashion industry on society and the environment.
Misbrigi is an annual collaborative project between LHÍ and the Red Cross of Iceland's clothing collection. Each student creates their own clothing line from unsellable textiles from the Red Cross, and the exhibition featured the students' diverse approaches to the material and their personal ideas about form, texture, and reuse.
The following students exhibited their work at this year's exhibition:
Ástrós Eva Ellertsdóttir
Complex Zink
Francis Edem Kumado
Guðmundur Tawan Víðisson
Hilmir Stein
